In the heart of historic Provence, the holiday cottage *L'instant Bleu* welcomes you with its four bedrooms and 45m² living room, sleeping up to eight people. The main rooms are air-conditioned.Surrounded by vineyards, umbrella pines and wooded hills, its terraces and private swimming pool are perfect for relaxing and spending time with friends or family. The gîte overlooks the old village of Carcès, which winds its way in a spiral around its medieval castle. The many houses with their glazed-tile façades lend the village a unique charm and character. Other façades, featuring trompe-l’oeil murals, tell the story of the village through the ages. And here, water is everywhere… This 100-hectare body of water on the outskirts of the village, fed by six rivers, brings peace and tranquillity to the landscape. The gîte lies at the foot of the Chemin des Pièces, which forms part of the Way of St James. You’re just a 10-minute canoe or kayak trip down the river away, 40 minutes from Saint-Raphaël and the beaches of Fort Grimaud, and 40 minutes from the Gorges du Verdon. There are many other remarkable historic villages to discover nearby. As well as the 8x4 swimming pool for the exclusive use of guests, the gîte is fully equipped: sun loungers, a barbecue, dining areas on the terrace and garden furniture. Three bedrooms have 160 beds, and one bedroom has two single beds. There is a shower room, a kitchen and a utility room. Two toilets.

We’ll be there to welcome you from 5 pm. If you’re arriving later, self-check-in is available, with keys provided in a lockbox. The beds will be made for your arrival, and towels are provided. A welcome tray will allow you to sample locally produced wines.
